Quitting sugar and cannabis at the same time is really not so much fun. However quitting cannabis makes quitting sugar easier. Just gotta embrace the headache!

I don't want to give Trump any ideas but I was wondering if they serve burgers with MAGA-nnaise at his rallies...

I’ve had a long-standing addiction to true crime programming which I felt I needed to break.

Now I’m watching Air Disasters on loop. Progress?

If a person were to kill someone who uses plural pronouns (they/them/their), could that person be charged with multiple homicides?

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

I’ve wanted to move to the Hebrides for years, but I’m just beginning to wonder if I could live somewhere with so few trees.

I honestly don't think I could ever live on an island; at least one that didn't have a causeway or bridge that allows for easy exit to the mainland. I'd just feel trapped.

You have to learn to sail or have a fishing boat but sailing is best since fuel is mostly free & clean.

Perhaps, but you'd have to be a pretty good sailor to navigate and sail a good number of miles through the ocean.

While watching the republican debate (as I write this) I was wondering why the audience seems so quiet when one of the people on the stage makes what they believe to be a bold statement.

Then I realized they're in a library...

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced that the American bully XL dog will be banned, following a spate of recent attacks.

Just for a second I thought this was a plan to refuse Trump entry to the UK

What kind of person even wants to live with a ‘dog’ like this?

Why don't they market cat food in flavors more in keeping with the cats' original tendencies as a predator ... like 'field mouse', 'small mammal', or 'wild bird', instead of 'liver', 'tuna', 'chicken', or 'dairy'?

Bill--I once recall seeing a cat food can (Friskies, I think) labeled Mouse flavor on a store shelf (I checked and it did not say the food contained any mouse, just flavor); I imagine there are others (although I don't see cat foods much as I do not have a cat). My guess is that the could not just capture and use field mice (because of the regulation of ingredients of pet food) and raising mice or food would likely be more expensive that just using the human food products/byproducts they use. If cats eat chicken and liver, why incur additional expense?

But mice breed quickly and cheaply; maybe you have uncovered a new business; do you think we could also raise Fed :D Ex and UPS carriers for dog food?

Either that or maybe I'm Gob.

I'm pretty sure I'm not, though.

I'm not though either...
